Chinese giant Newman takes another shot at iPod Fatty with the Manman A1. The 4th-gen Nano lookalike features something called Smart Touch 3.0 UI. From the photo, the A1 seems to support some form of touchscreen interface. It has a 2-inch screen and plays video (RM/ RMVB included) and MP3, WMA, FLAC, Ogg. It will [...]

Kevin Rose was right: the new iPod Nano 4G is curved and tall like the iPod Nanos before the fatty version. It’s already available online from Apple and should be in stores this weekend. Right away, I can say without equivocation that the design is a success. I could also say without equivocation that I [...]

MacNN has first dibs on a live shot of the real Nano 4G hardware. It’s got rounded edges and it’s orange. Some commenters have pointed out that it had similar form factor to the Macbook remote and it may just be able to control the iTunes on your laptop. Who knows, it would be great [...]

Apple may not have been very happy with the iPod Nano 3G, other wise known as fatty, because they are going back to the old long rectangular design of the iPod Nano 2G. The device will look more like the flash Zune. In fact all iPods will be redesigned, says Kevin Rose, the originator of [...]

While we were a little dubious about the Patriot A6’s iPod Nano second-gen form factor as a clip-on player, we are in total agreement to the a5’s aesthetic sensibility. No more hook on the backside, just a nice white coat of paint and the Aigo branding. No disappearing screen though like the a6 but the [...]

I was browsing at a Philippine mall for bargain hunters the other day and found this rather oversized iPod Nano 3G or Nano Fatty. Now, there’s nothing wrong with different sizes for a product. Heck, without medium size boxing shorts I’d be going around without underwear. The lady behind the glass counter was very [...]

Apple just released a firmware 1.0.2 for the iPod Nano “Fatty” and the iPod Classic. The firmware upgrade improves Cover Flow to resemble the experience you get on iTunes. Album art and titles are better rendered and the lag is less noticeable. The firmware gives you a prompt for “On,” “Off,” or “Ask,” which [...]

First we found this Nano Fatty Clone. The beat (and the blatant imitation) goes on with the HYF58, which is HwaYee Limited’s take on the iPod Nano. The device plays MPEG-4 videos, and MP1, MP2, MP3, WMA, WMV, ASF and WAV files (with ID3 tags and lyric support) while supporting JPEGs. A 1.8-inch TFT display and [...]
